It is cheaper with good quality compare to other tours. They were thinking everything for us! Thank you! Alizey12122019-05-26Verified A trip to Ngorongoro We had an incredible tour with Katambuga Expedition Tours. Not only that everything was perfect but also we were well taken care of with our guides and the whole crew. They made us enjoy our vacation and we had a lot of fun. I would recommend Katambuga for your tours in East Africa because they make you feel comfortable and have the best of every moment with them. Once again thank you to the crew members for your guidance and support.Blessing!!!! Thierry Mounir2019-05-25Verified 3 days safari in Ngorongoro and Serengeti It was amazing! The guide was excellent! He could spot the animals and explain us the different scenes that we observed in the parks. The food that the cook prepared was good and the tents in which we slept were really okay, even though the mattresses were not the best. The cook was in charge of installing the tents and packing them, it was really enjoyable to not have to care about that. I would recommend to take some warm clothes for the night at the ngorongoro park, it can get really cold! Overall, everything was nicely organized and we really enjoyed the safari. We might have been lucky with the weather and the animals / scenes that we could see. What a wonderful experience!
